 		I sent emailed our decipher to Chris and the following:


Quote:
Chris,

It seems the quote: "We few we happy few we band of brothers for he today that sheds his blood with me" is from Shakespeare and is the KEY for a code posted to VI and to another person.

The code (Vigenere running key) decrypts to this:

"fitzs mission was to deceive the terrorists into thinking he was a real
traitor"

Does this mean anything to you? Is it part of case DH 04/05/84/3462 and
Edmund Fitzpatrick?



ETA:
Didn't want to double post so, wondering who are the terrorists and how do find out what Fitzpatrick was working on with DOD? Or maybe some other route? Do we know if his survivors are able to be contacted/found?

 		His wife's dead; his children are the ones who hired VI.

Do we have a means to contact them?

Should we search for them?

Thanks

I'd already wondered that a couple days ago and searched for them, nothing. it might have changed by now though. I think I'll ask him on the wiki if he is willing to share the info with us for an interview.

Good question. I'd kinda like to ask if any of you on here have any particular questions you want me to ask before I send off an email with mine in them? that way we don't keep asking them the same questions.

 		Well I, for one, would like to know y they waited so long to get in touch w a pi (new evidence? A need?). Also, what has their own investigations brought up?

Thanks for taking the initiative.

 		Do they have any idea what he was working on?

Did he have a computer at home? Any notes tucked away in a study? Anything?

 		Why was Christina contacted originally about EF selling govt secrets?

What organization did Christina's father retire from? I'm guessing DC MPD but maybe FBI or DOD? Only saw Evans & Owens as detectives on the case report.

Does she have any idea who may be contacting her about this?

She has strong feeling about the KEY quote - maybe St. Crispin's Day (Oct 25) is a significant date?

My last email from Christina was the following:

Quote:
Emato -

Fitzs mission had him dealing with terrorists. No wonder he ended up dead! That quote is from Henry V he was trying to rally his troops (who were outnumbered 10-1). It is the St. Crispin's Day speech,

"We few we happy few we band of brothers for he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother."

Rather violent, but effective words. It worked, his troops went on to win the day. The fact that this person chose to use a battle-related Shakespeare quote could be significant.

 		Alrighty, great questions guys, I'll ask them.

I'm also going to ask about:

why they were out of the country when he was killed

if maybe their mother had said anything strange about their father before or after he was killed (considering we can't interview her ourselves)

if their father acted differently from usual before he passed

if they themselves had been threatened, or noticed anything out of the ordinary.



I'm still waiting for them to respond from my intial interview request, then I'll get these all out there. Thanks guys!

Nice find, I accidentally called their website phone number before, and it's not automated, a human answers it as verus investigations. so the other numbers are probably along the same lines.

also, we all recieved the application, I just filled mine out with a text tool, reattached it and sent it back. I got a text verification, so they actually looked at it.

 		I've heard back from Daniel now. No word from Helen yet. Here's what Daniel had to say


Quote:
Mary Ann --

I am going to be extremely busy this week. I can arrange for a Internet chat for
next week. I suggest Tuesday 9/6/2011 at 10am EST. Is that OK with you?

-- Daniel



a chat will be interesting, though I had to ask for a reschedule, hopefully he's available at four or later.
